LINK: Glass Painting Patterns of Jane Burden Morris

Here are several glass painting patterns that a great for practicing line tracing, inspired by nineteenth century photographs of Jane Burden Morris. I like those photographs because it's nice to see what was considered a great beauty in the days before heavy makeup and plastic surgery *wink*.
